We can't finish worse than eighth now, not bad for the worst team in the history of football.

3-3 now

There's a teeny bit of me that would like Accies to beat Ross County and Kille to draw with St. Mirren which would leave all of them with the same points going into Sunday. But my sensible head wants RC and Killie to win so that Accies are gone. (and we would have a good chance of 7th)

The stand roof was featured quite a lot on TV when Karl Ready played with us

I don't think that's right, a win for us puts us on 47pts and a draw for them gives them 44, they have a better GD so a loss for us and a win for them in the last round puts them 7th.

And this site shows that fans know almost nothing about football (allegedly)

Given the abuse that Townsley got from his own fans, I had no problem with his reaction that day, badge kissing I just think is naff. Ultimately, I don't really care how ex-players celebrate, I'd just rather they didn't get the chance against us.

You're right I think, Netzer was McIlwraith. Both had long blond hair, as did Ian Taylor, I knew my memory was rotten.

Me, great player. I think he scored a couple of beauties in the 6-3 win at Dens in the mid-70s, although my memory is a bit flaky.

I agree, but sticking with a winning team is not an unreasonable approach. He could have changed the team for Livvy and won, stuck with that team today and who knows what would have happened, hence the "Auntie had baws" comment ( which you left out of the quote) The bottom line for me though is, I think we will be safe, and GA will learn more from days like today than an easy game with a team which may, largely, be playing somewhere else next season.

And he made the same decision before the Livingstone game which "backfired" into a three - one win. He could have picked DG for that one, we lose, and drop him for Kilmarnock, we lose that one and we really would be in the mire. Or to put it another way, if yer Auntie had baws.................

My opinion, for what it's worth, is whoever finishes bottom will have fewer than 35 points and second bottom will have fewer than 38, so one more win should see us safe. I still won't breathe easily till it's an arithmetic certainly though.

Each to their own I suppose. Wilson Humphries was the only English Teacher I had that could get me interested in the subject, no other one could hold my attention. We'll except Marjory Nimmo but that had nothing to do with English.

Were you in my class at Dalziel? Roger Hynd was a psycho, Wilson Humphries was a brilliant teacher and Sheila was rubbish at giving the belt. Much better looking than her dad though.

I will be renewing, but although I could have watched every home game, I've rarely bothered because I hate watching on a screen, It's just not the same as talking sh1!e with those around me. My choice, so if I loose out on "live" games then so be it, admittedly, I'm in a more fortunate place than some though.

Very sad to hear, like a few on here, he was before my time (just) but I fondly remember the team he built and how annoyed I was when he left after one year. I know the fee from Liverpool built the P O'D stand, but I'm sure he once claimed that if the Motherwell board had shown some ambition and not cashed in on him and a few others (different days children, the club had you until they allowed you to go, none of this Bosman stuff), then Motherwell would have been the Scottish team of the 60's and not Celtic.

No thanks, I don't mind going there knowing a win would relegate them, but not needing the win to stay up.

Yes! Round them

Can I take it he doesn't care who he offends?

That would be Italian football in the seventies then!

I'd forgotten what a Pr1@k Jim Reynolds was, thanks for that.

You're right I think, I thought they were similar but I was worried that my memory was playing tricks with me. I wonder if the highlights exist on youtube somewhere.

So do I, the minging hordes were crushed into the old Fir Park, barely hanging on to the ash slopes and causing a terrible stink. I also remember that at least one of Andy Lynch's goals was an eighteen yard thunderbolt. Happy days.

Jokes don't work when you have to explain them.

He lives in the States now I believe, if you bump into him, say hi from me.
